  • Examining sufficient variation in binary variable

    Hi,

    even though the question might not be Stata-specific there might be a Stata-supported solution.
    Recalling one of my econometric courses I remember that a sufficient variation in your dependent and independent variables is desirable in a regression analysis as it helps to pin down the relationship between your x and y variables. I was wondering if there is a way to test if the variation is sufficient or if I can assume this as long as Stata is able to calculate the coefficients for my model.

    This is the variation for the dummy variable of interest:

    Code:
     CEO_celeb3 |      Freq.     Percent        Cum.
    ------------+-----------------------------------
              0 |      2,133       92.74       92.74
              1 |        167        7.26      100.00
    ------------+-----------------------------------
          Total |      2,300      100.00
    Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas on this

Working...
